This page should be completed for students identified as English Learners (EL).  The student's current status in listed on the page. If text is entered in the text box below and the student IS NOT EL, his/her status will change when the IEP is finalized. YES/NO for EL status which shows on this page is based on the EL status which shows on the Profile page based on what has been reported to DOE.

 Please check with the appropriate administrators regarding the student's EL status prior to entering text in the box.



If the student IS EL - enter text in the box explaining how their EL needs will be met. GO will perceive entering text in this box as meaning that the student IS EL and will change their EL status to YES when the IEP is finalized. If the text that is entered says N/A -this does not apply, GO does not read and comprehend what is written, and the EL status is still changed to YES. This is generally not noticed immediately. Instead, the next time an IEP or amendment is developed for that school year, the teacher who is correctly NOT answering the EL question for the student who is actually NOT EL will get an audit message indicating that the EL question should be answered because in GO the EL status is YES.
